Back posting for first time since July 2025. Now 11st 5 which is now 19lbs over my lowest back in 2020

There's a recent thread here https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/nhs-healthier-you-diabetes-prevention-programme.208723/post-2793980

@Antje77 you and your new friend might be interested to check out Dr Erin Bellamy (several talks on you tube). Interesting theories on how what we eat can affect mental health, and what food can help. Of course friendship and support goes a long way too :)

Some of the products in the M&S "only" range are low carb, the burgers, sausages and mayo for example. But they are marketing them as simple rather than ultra processed so their marketing team obviously think there's more money to be made under that banner than low carb.

Luckily, the differences aren't too great to worry about. I don't suppose anyone has a cracker fron 2021 to do a taste test against the new ones ... :eek: :D

Sorry, am bit rusty...

The plot thickens. Same ingredients 2021 to 2026 yet different nutritional values!

Interesting! I hadn't spotted the differences. Just moved to Olina when there was no alternative. Just doing a side by side I see Olinas are 80g weight per packet and M&S a whopping (in comparison!) 130g. . Might try a blind taste test one day. My home made ones are good but don't keep as...

A full 9 months later and I've just completed my local face to face Healthier You NHS Diabetes Programme which in my area was run by a company called LWTC Living Well Taking Control I did miss a couple of sessions due to holidays. Overall for me I learnt nothing new (but having been diagnosed 6...

I just came back on to say the same! They are the same as the Olinas available through Heylo ( and other suppliers) but its so nice just to be able to pick them up without having to order. But they are now £2.75 a packet. They were £1.95 when this thread started in Sept 2021. That's 41% inflation!

Yes they are

https://www.marksandspencer.com/food/70-dark-chocolate-cocoa-dusted-almonds/p/fdp60679731 They also do a small 30g pack often near the tills or lunch items that's good for a portion controlled treat Edited : they seem to have stopped doing the smaller packs

You could try this one. Marmalade – Keto Fitness Club https://share.google/tySvwpvcM557i6Rwh Makes 50 savings ie tablespoons. There are other keto marmalade recipes out there, but most don't specify the make of sweetener, and all sweeteners are different in sweetness and how they cook. I...

Have a look at the ingredients for the lentil crackers. It may well be the "vegetable " or seed oils probably used. I find since I've gone low carb I'm getting less and less tolerant of certain things, seed oils especially. For example a little bit of shop bought mayo was fine, but now I can't...

We went to new-to-us garden centre today and found their cafe was very pleasantly situated with a large veranda and stunning views. I had a 3 cheese ploughman's, left the bread. Bought some stilton and cheese home Bought 3 shrubs Mid afternoon, 2 big handfuls almonds D: one chicken thigh...

A spoon works well for me :)

Nothing you've said. It's been quiet for several months now. But I'm finding the main threads quiet too. Such a shame. This forum was my life saver and main support tribe for over 5 years.

A blip can act as a good reminder. Just notice, learn and move on

First thing I started preparing a dessert ready for lunch time, a low carb cheesecake but on a real biscuit base. However it all started seeping out the loose bottomed tin so ended up cooking the base and topping separately . Looked really messy but tasted good! B: 2 cold sausages L: gammon...
